Nigeria’s property market is about to experience a massive shift. Dr. Deji Adeleke, father of Afrobeat superstar Davido, is putting the finishing touches on a 1,250MW power plant in Ajebamidele, Ondo State.
The project, valued at $2 billion and developed by Pacific Holdings Limited, is set to become one of Nigeria’s largest power plants. Once operational, it promises to provide stable electricity in a country where power shortages have long stalled industrial growth and real estate development.
Why This Matters for Real Estate
Electricity isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s a critical factor that shapes property value and housing demand. Here’s how this project could change the game:
Boosting Property Prices: Reliable power makes estates, gated communities, and commercial hubs more attractive to buyers and investors.
Fueling Urban Growth: Ondo and neighboring states are likely to see a surge in demand for both housing and industrial estates.
Cutting Costs: Developers spend billions on generators every year. Stable electricity could slash operating costs for residential and mixed-use developments.
Improving Mortgage Access: Consistent power strengthens property value over time, making homes more viable for financing and long-term investments.
Key Details About the Project
- Capacity: 1,250 megawatts
- Investment: $2 billion
- Developer: Pacific Holdings Limited
- Location: Ajebamidele, Ondo State

A Catalyst for Sustainable Growth
Beyond the numbers, this power plant is a signal of what’s possible when energy infrastructure meets real estate development.
Stable electricity could:
🔹 Power new smart cities and industrial hubs
🔹 Drive large-scale housing projects
🔹 Attract both local and foreign property investors
At Property Media Week, we see this as more than an energy story. It’s about creating thriving communities and unlocking the true potential of Nigeria’s housing market.
